stimulating the contestants to drive the influence and determination of all commonwealth
residents via sport (McPherson, O’Donnell, McGillivray, & Misener, 2014, p. 165).

venues (Carlini & O’Neil, 2019, p. 286).

been more hotels that were constructed during the commonwealth (Powell & McCathy, 2019, p.
